Holiday What to Wear Guide: Our Picks for Casual Holiday Events

Sometimes our holiday event invites fall somewhere between a night snuggled up on the couch and a night out on the town. These picks include a few picks worthy of your neighbor’s tacky sweater party and a few more that work for holiday lunch with friends, breakfast with Santa or your kids’ holiday parties. We tried to add a little sparkle, novelty and fun to this list!

This Mamanista started as a young fashionista when my mom bought me a Fashion Plates drawing set and Superstar Barbie Fashion Face for my birthday in the 80s. For work, I gravitate toward effortless chic and look for great jewelry and shoes to make my outfit. I’d like to think shoes, not diamonds are really a girl’s best friend.
For the weekends, I embrace a bit more of my boho chic edge and choose flowy, comfortable pieces that can take me from the ball fields with my kids to out and about around town with no more than a change of shoes and jewelry. No lounge pants and slippers or mom jeans for this mom!
